Extra! Extra! Spring 2025 Online Class 🗞️ 🗣️

The goal of Spanish 5142/4142, The Latin American Short Story, is to provide an overview of the most relevant tendencies which are integral to the development of this literary genre in Latin America spanning the 1900s to the first decade of the 21st century. The course will pay attention to canonical authors who have been influential not only within the context of Latin American writing, but internationally as well. We will read short stories by José María Arguedas, Roberto Bolaño, María Luisa Bombal, Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, Cristina Peri Rossi, Horacio Quiroga, Juan Rulfo, and many others. The course is intended to develop students’ analytical abilities and close reading skills through the interpretation of Spanish language texts. By the end of the course, all students should improve their oral and written skills through class participation, written and oral presentations, and in-class discussions.

Picture yourself here this upcoming Summer 2025 & Spring 2026 🇪🇸 😍

Take your Spanish to the next level!
Studying abroad at Temple in Spain offers you the unique chance to immerse yourself in the heart of authentic Spanish culture while pursuing your academic goals—choose from
language immersion options or courses taught in English in a variety of fields!
Through the Temple in Spain program, you’ll have the opportunity to embark on a transformative journey at the University of Oviedo, guided by a dedicated Temple faculty
member who serves as the resident director. Located in the northern province of Asturias, Oviedo is a vibrant and picturesque region bordered by mountains to the south and the Cantabrian Sea to the north. It is a region rich in history and culture, and yet, removed from the heavy tourism of many other Spanish regions and cities, you can have a truly immersive experience in this off-the-beaten-path location.

Book summary:
This book culminates a research that examines the theatrical, social, political and economic environment of Portugal in the 20th century, focusing on the impact of censorship on the performing arts. It addresses the prohibitions, vetoes and laws imposed by censors during the Estado Novo regime.

The percentage data presented were elaborated from the consultation of censorship reports of the period analyzed, a fact that has allowed corroborating the degree of repression experienced in the last years of the Estado Novo.

Los autores prohibidos also provides a clear view of the theatrical works that never reached the stage, and therefore never became known to the public. Likewise, this publication has a list of the plays approved after April 25, together with the activity of the theaters, requested authors, dramatic texts and artistic practices of the theater companies (professional and amateur) of this period. In this way, it has been intended to decentralize the focus on the great Lisbon, opening new lines of research to the scientific community.
